It's Fun to Play the Piano ... Please Pass It On!

After you upload your picture, you can view the details, including the exact link you would need to use to display them on the forums.

NOTE: The viewer doesn't seem to be working right now, but you will also receive an email containing the link information.You can pretty much assume your picture will be at: http://www.pianoworld.com/Uploads/files/followed by the name of your file.

With things like our Forums Parties, Piano Tours, etc. , I'd prefer we had a copy on Piano World so I know the pictures will remain available.

Check it out, and let me know what you think.

To post pictures in a forums thread...[/b]

You need to either have started a new thread, or use the Full Reply.

Simply click the "IMAGE" button (bottom of right hand list of buttons under the text box), then copy and paste the Full URL pointing to your picture.

Be careful not to have any space between the IMG tags, and make sure you only have one http:// in the URL

The picture should appear in your message, wherever you were when you clicked the Image button.

Thanks. Does that mean that I can now delete umpteen megabytes of storage for things people have sent me (photos, audio, video, etc.) that are linked in prior messages? No one else would do it. (Although I must admit this has caused me to recieve more than a few "do not post"'s but this is for you onlies).

Or is it just different on my screen, and everybody else gets the picture? [/b]

Deutsch:

I went to that thread, clicked on the link, saved the picture to my desktop, then came back and used the upload instructions to see if it will appear here.

I have saved some pics onto my hard drive. And then I went to add them to the PW pic uploader. Everthing seemed to work OK, but then I never saw an URL. And I'm not listed among those who have submitted a pic.

I bought I piano!! I want to thank you for helping me along the way on my piano search.

Anyway, was your original picture for the avatar not square? If you shrink and crop your picture into a square 1"x1", then upload it, it might not be distorted. I think it got distorted because it needs to be conformed into a square shape.

BTW, what kind of floor lamp do you have behind your grand? I still love your music room.

You're absolutely right. I finally figured it out, and cropped the picture; now I have to upload the revised photo.

About the rest of your post, mamabird: I'm happy if my comments helped at all in your search for a piano. And that lamp is one made by Frederick Cooper, a Chicago-based lamp company. About twice a year they have sales at their factory, and there are some pretty good deals on lamps that are fairly expensive the rest of the year.
